Weeks ago before WrestleMania 39, Rhea Ripley set a goal for herself to become the Grand Slam Women’s Champion at The Show of Shows. She was set to face The Queen, Charlotte Flair at The Showcase Of The Immortals. They have been feuding ever since 2020 when Charlotte won the Royal Rumble and challenged Ripley for the NXT Women’s Championship. Charlotte won the match, but their rivalry continued. This year, Ripley won the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble. Looking to finish her business with Charlotte, she challenged The Queen for the SmackDown Women’s Championship.

Rhea Ripley thus squared off against Charlotte last night at WrestleMania 39. They managed to steal the show last night, making their match a classic. It was a hard-fought battle between the two women. They traded heavy blows and dished out punishment to each other. In the end, The Eradicator of The Judgement Day won the bout after hitting The Queen with an avalanche riptide for the win. Their year-long rivalry finally came to an epic conclusion at The Showcase of Immortals.

To have all of those moments. That’s one thing I strive to so, I want to write my name in the history books, and I’ve gone and done that.”

She said that she plans to make her own destiny when she “takes over” WWE with her fellow Judgement Day members.
